Censoring a Number
Rudd-O writes "Months after successful discovery of the HD-DVD processing key, an unprecedented campaign of censorship, in the form of DMCA takedown notices by the MPAA, has hit the Net. For example Spooky Action at a Distance was killed. More disturbingly, my story got Dugg twice, with the second wave hitting 15,500 votes, and today I found out it had simply disappeared from Digg. How long until the long arm of the MPAA gets to my own site (run in Ecuador) and the rest of them holding the processing key? How long will we let rampant censorship go on, in the name of economic interest?" How long before the magic 16-hex-pairs number shows up in a comment here?

This is a sig. It is like every other sig in the world, except that it is mine, and it is different.

It's amazing to see just how worthless and futile DRM is. It penalizes the poor saps who don't have the know-how to override it. As for the rest, and that includes the pirates, it's no obstacle at all.
If you had a lock that kept out only the people you actually wanted in, but couldn't keep out those that were actually going to rob you blind, one would think that your solution might be a little more robust than "I'll see anyone who reports how badly my lock works".

I was amazed at the quickness of the censors, when I clicked on the link here, and got the "Nothing to see here, please move along." message. I've often seen people say that they got that message, but was never quite sure if it actually happened. This time it did. In cooperation with the summary, here's the number: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0

How can that possibly be DMCA'd...
Time to get out and use the old pen to write a nice little letter to my congress critter.
I'm all for someone using their rights to protect what is their's. Not a problem, but when it dictates what they can do with the things they own, and speech, I think it has crossed a line I'd rather it not cross.
Some say Americans just take the abuse and can't see what the big deal is, unless it might cause re-runs of Friends to be pulled. Some people say Americans are sheep and will go where a select class of people point for them to go. I have sometimes seen these rights dry up a little when not constantly defended, and I start to think American's are lemmings, not sheep.
I guess I'm just as guilty as everyone else. I'm no fool. I can see I'm like that also, but I'm trying really hard to be different.

What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
All that is needed for AACS to be cracked is for one guy to break it. Out of a few hundred trying. Then they pass it along to everyone else. Even if the crack ultimately requires hardware alterations, you only need a few rippers to get 75% of the major releases. AACS may ultimately succeed in making an unlicensed player impractical, but it won't stop pirates and hackers.

Didn't this happen with DVD's also? Wasn't there a big thing about that t-shirt with the CSS key on it?
So, I can see the libs for this getting pushed to servers located in countries where consumers are allowed to consume the content that they paid for, similar to the current dvd situation. So, for me, I only add the repository of whatever server, or even visit said server myself (perhaps with a secure, or tor connection) to download the library for my own use.
So, while I don't agree that it is "right" to "censor a number," it won't really affect me, or anyone else interested in seeing said number. That is, if I decide to go ahead and purchase that DRM'd crapware, which probably won't be any time soon.
On second thought, to be safe, I should probably grab said lib now.

If so then why the attempt at censorship.
...I needed a new sig anyway.
When I read this slashdot post, the first thing I thought was "I bet there's a wikipedia article on it!" Sure enough, either somebody has posted one and it's been deleted and protected, or the editors went ahead and jumped on it and protected it. (I haven't checked yet, though there are "additional information links. Nor have I check it in other bases.)
Guess I should look into postng this to one of the "anti-censorship on wikipeida" sites.
For what it's worth, this is utter crap, but it shows a severe weakness in copyright law. Anything that can be represented with data, anything at all, can be encoded/encrpyted on anything else, given an arbitrary coding mechanism. For instance, let us create "sabre86's stanard coding scheme": add 1 to any number. After encoding we have 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C1. Look, it's a different number! I guess it isn't a circumvention. Or is it?
You can extend this logic arbitarily to anything, so that not only can any string represent any other string (and thus be a "copy"), any string can be the key to an encoding scheme, meaning that posting any string is "circumvention" if I see fit to describe my encryption process such that it encrypts/encodes a copyrighted work using that string as a "key."
So all strings are copyrighted because they can derived from other copyrighted strings through an arbitrary encoding scheme and all strings are potentially circumventions of DRM/CRAP because they are both a representation of a known key in a different encoding and the key for some other arbitrary encryption algorithm that "circumvents the copyright protections."
Bullshit

How long must a number be to be copyrightable? Any digital file, including programs, can be written as a number, yet obviously pictures and programs can be copyrighted. The number 1 cannot be copyrighted, but the 98641-decimal-digit number corresponding to the original Super Mario Bros. ROM images can be. Where is the line drawn? Can cryptographic keys be copyrighted? Can the MPAA use a (long) key containing a copyrightable image so that the cryptographic key is copyrighted as well?

But, thanks to the special qualities of digital encoding, any given DRM only has to broken ONCE. The cost for the first crack may be high and take a few months, but the second and subsequent copies are effectively free. So my pirate business model is simple and economically valid.
And the killer fact is... if you prevent copying, the number of full price sales doesn't increase.
It turns out that the key is the MD5 hash of "SQUEAMISH OSSIFRAGE"
Everything digital is as a number (hence the name "digital").
Circumvention software? A long number. PDFs with classified military information? Long numbers. Child porn? Long numbers. Having those illegal numbers on your hard drive will get you convicted.
So, if you are going to argue that numbers can't be illegal, think about the above examples, and reconsider your arguing strategy -- you will not win that argument with a judge.

I saw one story with the key go from 200 to over 800 "diggs" in something like 20 minutes, then it got deleted.
In about the same time, this story, which links to this blog got up to 2-300 "diggs", then was removed from the front page.

What a great move by the MPAA. I wonder if anyone over there actually thought it would be reasonable to even attempt a stunt like a few numbers when they cannot even bring down Pirate Bay.
Someone must have thought it is possible to stop the spread of it, but any reasonable person knows this is more like a great way of boosting the spread. All sites that refused to spread the code did so. Now that the MPAA created this upset, it is now published all over the world and then commented in thousands of articles, spreading to more places than ever before.
Also, searching "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" results in over 1,000 hits, obviously growing rapidly and also cached up by Google.

I'll probably be modding down for this thought, but someone needs to ask...
I do not doubt at all that this is censorship by a company. The funny thing is that the U.S. constitution does not say that this is illegal. All that is illegal in this country is the government making a law that allows for censorship. Censorship happens all the times in the private sector. I can't talk about certain things that pertain to my job, when I was working for a public company I couldn't discuss knowledge that could affect the outcome of selling stock. How is this any different.
It is one company a company/trade group that is trying to protect some valuable information, why should this be illegal and have everyone get up in arms about it because it inconveniences your life becuase then you'd have to actually do the work to figure out this key instead and how to go about using it.
Just a thought, but as I said above it has always puzzled me why people scream censorship about this stuff.
Indeed, it has silently disappeared from Digg again, for the second time.

DRM is the equivalent of having a a very complicated and intrinsic lock on your door, complete with fingerprint and retinal scan, with thousands of locks you have to unlock first.
All the while, the door is made of plywood.
What does it accomplish? It keeps you, the legal owner, outside, it forces you to go through incredible pain to get past your locks, while anyone else can simply use an axe and get in without any hassles. The only one for whom the door and its locks is an obstacle is the legal, rightful user Anyone else, from pirate to someone who simply doesn't care about the door, simply bursts past it and doesn't give a damn about it.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
How about if it's represented in a different number base (ala DECSS in different programming languages)?
And all along I thought that numbers couldn't be copyrighted or patented.
Not to mention, if it is copyrighted, and therefore should be in the public domain of protected copyrighted works (i.e. you can't sell this very short story), then how is it secret, and did the actual copyright owner send the takedown notice? So many DMCA notices seem not to comply with the act properly these days.
Maybe they should just give it to Xenu (Scientology) to keep off the web. We know how well they've managed so far.
"It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions."
I'm sorry, but you can't claim Copyright on a randomly generated cryptographic key. That is because a randomly generated key does not meet the minimum creativity requirements of Copyright law. No creative input == No Copyright. The bar is very low but a randomly generated key patently does not meet it.
Should read; "I'll sue anyone who reports how badly my lock works".
Let's be a bit creative, the best I could do was hum it to "everybody needs somebody" by the Blues Brothers. Someone make a song, a poem, a web comic, a youtube video of it shaved into cattle.

Like the DMCA?
This incident alone could set a huge precedent if someone fought back against the MPAA. There are only two legal outcomes:
- The MPAA loses, setting a precedent in future cases where they can't use the DMCA to censor encryption keys.
or
- The MPAA wins, they censor the number, and the DMCA is then officially a law used for censorship, making the entire thing unconstitutional and pulling the rug out from under the MPAA's case (and any future DMCA-based litigation).
It's win-win for "we the people", just as long as nobody caves in to the MPAA.

All someone has to do is post that string anonymously on some USENET news groups and there will NEVER be a way to completely erradicate it from the 'net.
Then you're got prior art. I expect to be reading news of your lawsuit against the MPAA any moment now.
"It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions."
... as to put that number in a /. comment. After all, we don't want to get /. in trouble do we?
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
With the decentralized nature of usenet, I'd think it would be the ideal forum for posting such things. Even if most people today have never heard of it, for some unfathomable reason.
I wish the press would do some research and publish the cost of DRM R&D.
Clearly, DRM schemes get broken almost as fast as they are created. So its back to R&D to create the next scheme. Someone is paying for all this ineffective R&D, and ultimately its the consumer in the form of higher prices for content.
Seriously! DRM *will* eventually die, if only because consumers won't pay $100's for media where almost all of this cost is to recoup the cost of (failed) DRM R&D.
Idiots at MPAA, RIAA, etc really need to be cluestick decelerators.

Here it is in base 10 and commas, as the average Joe expects it.
I think hex confuses the issue slightly for non-technical folks, who think it's some kind of a legitimate, proprietary code rather than a plain old number used as a stupid, proprietary code. Anybody can see the idiocy of saying that the number 42 or 13256 or 13256278887989457651018865901401704640 may not be displayed on a web page.
"09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" is a key. It's a slight stretch to suggest that it's a device used for the decryption of an HD-DVD. Certainly it's a component, but so is a computer and the decryption algorithm. And like this number, they all have a lot of potential other uses. The takedown notices merely state that the MPAA believes that this infringes their copyright.
Anyone who wants to send a counter notice can have their number restored to the web. The MPAA would then have to sue them to remove it entirely. This would be a difficult, expensive and really quite difficult legal case that would get them nothing. They'd have to sue everybody. I doubt that the court would award them damages.
So anyone who has their number removed should file a counter notice. See the MPAA squirm.

That hex sequence has *got* to be somewhere in the hundreds of gigabytes of binary files on my workstation (none of which have anything to do with media of any kind, scientific calculations generate a *lot* of binary data). How can so short a sequence be suject to copyright? That is the "C" in DMCA, no? How can that sequence, which occurs many completely unrelated places be enforcable?
I once listened to the whole thing. I found it interestingly artistic.

You know what the next step is? Some young enterprising fellow will develop a truly shit encryption/content protection scheme based on the ASCII code for 'the' (74 68 65) and then sue anyone under the DMCA who uses the word 'the'. They are illegally distributing his encryption key, merely encoded/interpreted in a different format, ASCII.

I recommend seeking legal council, sending DMCA counter notices and seeing if they sue. If the MPAA sends a second takedown notice, they are violating the law.

Let's say you use a password to store your banking information, and that password is "dumbass5." Now a blog posts that your password to your banking account is "dumbass5." Would you call it censorship when you retained an attorney to shut down that blog/forum/site? More specifically, would you call it censorship that infringed on your rights?
This isn't a story about censorship. It's a story about data integrity. Whether you like it or not, DRM and encryption keys are perfectly legal means of protecting content produced by major studios. Whether it should be or should not be, they have every right to exercise that control to protect their business interests. A DMCA takedown notice DOES NOT MEAN that the number here is purported to by copyrighted. It means that copyrighted content, which is protected by an encryption key, has been compromised. The DMCA takedown is to protect their copyrighted content, not this sequence of numbers (which is probably an encryption key used dozens of times over in the world at large).
Thirteen undecillion, two hundred fifty-six decillion, two hundred seventy-eight nonillion, eight hundred eighty-seven octillion, nine hundred eighty-nine septillion, four hundred fifty-seven sextillion, six hundred fifty-one quintillion, eighteen quadrillion, eight hundred sixty-five trillion, nine hundred one billion, four hundred one million, seven hundred four thousand, six hundred forty.

How come these magic numbers are so honking big? What? Seven was taken?
Back in MY day, kids, when we made a magic number we made it simple! Like 5! Nowadays young folks getting all fancy with hexidecimal and such, first thing you know, they're sticking these hexo deci whatchacallits into the DVD players. Dang vermin! When we wanted to watch a movie, there was only one magic number, six! That's how many beers came in the six pack you took to the drive in. If we wanted another magic number, guess what? We just made it up!
And we didn't get into a bunch of silly fights with lawyers over magic numbers neither. Aren't the lawyers making enough already? What, now we got record companies paying lawyers to sue people over magic numbers? You didn't see lawyers in my day suing over numbers. In my day, a good lawyer would only sue you if you ran over somebody. The world's going to pot, I tellya.

The more Microsoft pushes Treacherous Computing, more quickly everything will be screwed up and more quickly this whole DRM fad will go away. People should understand: (1) Alice cannot send a message to Bob without Eve listening to it if Bob and Eve are the same person and (2) I [and many others] want to be free to tinker with every single appliance I buy with my own personal blood-sweat-and-tears hard earned cash. Obviously, the liability is on me if I screw up something that belongs to other people.

Well, I think the point is, if the key is not copyrighted, then how is a DMCA takedown application the appropriate way to remove something that isn't copyrighted in the first place?
When expressing something as a factor of prime numbers, intelligent people use the p^n notation. Instead of saying that 64=2*2*2*2*2*2, you say 64=2^6. Besides, the parent's point is that censoring numbers is stupid- and, by extension, people who advocate censoring numbers are stupid.
You are reading a copy of my copyrighted post.
They are asking that the key be taken down because it is a circumvention tool, not because the key itself is somehow copyright.

This is a sig. It is like every other sig in the world, except that it is mine, and it is different.
Well, really, it's not censorship by a company. That would be when a company prohibits the use of the number in its own circles and fires employees who break the rule, or delete posts on forums that they host.
This is most definitely censorship by the government, by means of the DMCA. It so happens that it is for the benefit of a company. As soon as the government starts passing laws (and especially once they start being enforced), that's government censorship.
But like the key is in the title... They'll have to delete the discussions about the deletions.
Rocket science is easy. Neurosurgery, now *that's* difficult.
The number itself isn't a problem. It's the context (including information on what it is, how to use it to circumvent DRM, etc.; without that context, the number's article is worthless and would be deleted, with it the article is DMCA violating). Wikipedia is in a the U.S., within the arms of that shitty law. Until/unless it's okayed by the Wikimedia legal people, it has to stay down. Don't get angry at admins over it.
Unless things are seriously out of whack.
To put it in programming terms, a raw number has no methods (Java) or member fuctions (C++). There is no logic. No processing.
In the psychical world I would say that a raw number has no utility. It is not capable of being used to perform work.
There is no proof that a non-protectable process could not generate the same the number.
thirteen undecillion, two hundred fifty six decillion, two hundred seventy eight nonillion, eight hundred eighty seven octillion, nine hundred eighty nine septillion, four hundred fifty seven sextillion, six hundred fifty one quintillion, eighteen quadrillion, eight hundred sixty five trillion, nine hundred and one billion, four hundred and one million, seven hundred and four thousand, six hundred and forty
There is some value that when hashed with a 256 bit hash will come out as that key.
Great, so now everyone who visits slashdot is going to have this random number.

The key isn't a DMCA violation. It's the instructions on how to use the key. Without those instructions any article on the key would be worthless and deserve deletion anyways. Lose-lose.
I'm not sure how true this is but apparently the reason they are deleting the stories is because Digg gets paid by the group behind hd-dvd?
[alk]
www.hddvdkey.com
is to write up blog entries about how interesting this number series is. Mention in passing that it was chosen due to a feeling that the cease and dissist letters were over the top, and that the key is insufficient to circumvent the access controls by itself. Then talk about how interesting this number is mathematically.
a) One is just mentioning facts
b) While acknowledging that this is indeed a key, you are mostly talking about the interesting numeric properties of the number.
To what extent can simply stating objective facts be outlawed due to the DMCA?
If I say "That ebook is protected using ROT-13" is that subject to prosecution?

Where is that guy who'd die defending what I had to say when I need him?
Isn't that 700 megabyte XVid version of.. I don't know.. Star Trek: Generations that you just downloaded using BitTorrent 'a number'. I mean, any number of bytes can be represented as a single number made up of all those bytes.
If sending around that 'number' is copyright infringement, what difference does it make to the length of the number? I'm not trying to play devil's advocate here, as I can see defending the copyright on the number 2, for example, is ridiculous. But.. I'd agree defending the copyright of something represented by even a 2 megabyte number is right for that copyright holder to do. Where IS the line?
Someone use CSS to encrypt the key... would be impossible to break then!
I've got this piece of information which I only know that the first digit starts with the number nine (00001001 in binary). I've encoded this information using a special encryption technique and a key. This to keep it from being used by persons that do not have the right to this information. Anyway, noone without should decode the number, or you would breach the DMCA. This obviously goes twice for the RI-AA.
The information is: A3 53 BB A8 37 DE 49 F1 72 EB FC 6F C9 FC 22 6A

Hmm, shame MAC addresses are too short.
Arbitrary URL strings?
The possibilities are endless.
The previous comments are only true, if no-one says they're wrong.
Can someone explain this DRM thing to me?
As I see it, a hacker who gets to the XBox key or the WinDVD key for decoding HD-DVD movies can now decrypt any HD-DVD movie, until that key gets revoked.
Why doesn't he just keep quiet about finding the key, rent every movie at blockbuster, decrypt it with the yet-to-be-revoked key, and crank out torrents like no tomorrow?
And the only way to stop him would be to revoke ALL the keys, because there's no way to know which key he got access to.
Am I missing some piece of the puzzle here?
They thought about copyrighting the key, that's creative input.
The first rule of "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" club is no one talks about "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0". Remember this number is a privilege, not a right.

So be smart. Lawyer-up and learn what you can and can not do, from a legal perspective. This will save you from grief and from fear. Once educated, then you aren't as easily picked on. There are plenty of resources out there to help you...

Song with some very relevant lyrics
I was hacked in minutes once 09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0 was revealed to the world. :-(
I don't get what the fuss is over the fact that the thing censored is a number. All digital data are numbers. That's why it's called digital.
why dont they just admit they can catch, jail, sue or even identify all the people who have now copied the number? Unlike other usese of the phrase, I would say the poster can claim "mission accomplished". Being a subversive myself,I of course followed the link and cached the number where is safe behind a fire wall. [and no, log readers,, its NOT the firewall from which I am posting this comment!]

There's more to this than meets the eye.
There is no way that the DMCA can be used to delete people's comments about the issue or about Digg's actions. Comments are not a circumvention device.
Nor can the DMCA be used to ban people's accounts. So only Digg staff alone are responsible for this additional censorship, not the MPAA.
Their goal with DRM has nothing to do with John-Q-Customer.
It is about locking you to certain companies for your "media" needs. Be it music, movies, TV, or whatever else comes along. It's about controlling the distribution mechanisms in an environment where that is almost impossible (the digital environment).
Don't you get it? They don't want "information to be free". At all. They want as much money from you as you can stand and in order to do that, they have to control distribution. This is why Apple has, and will continue to have, a large chunk of the online music business. Because they (tightly) control their distribution via DRM.

Best hex sig.
I just have to say that the "Free Speech" arguments don't seem to hold a lot of water to me. Don't get me wrong, I hate DRM/DMCA/MPAA as much as the next guy, but free speech?
If this number should be protected by free speech, is it also free speech for me to publish your name, birthday, ssn, and credit card number?
Bring on the flames.
>> How can so short a sequence be suject to copyright?
A key cannot be copyrighted under any circumstances, whatever its length.
The reason for this is that, in all western jurisdictions, copyright can be vested only in copyrightable works, which are defined as original works of authorship. A machine-generated random number can never, under any circumstances, be an original work of authorship. Its very randomness precludes it --- it clearly has not been "authored" under prevailing interpretations of the word.
The length of an item does however have some small relevance, although only in the sense of precluding application of copyright even further. The shorter the key, the less it can claim to be unique, and thus even the claim of originality falters.

Yes, it is, but only because you decided to have this look at slashdot. There are many bytes on your computer, but the chances of one being this number is astronomically low. It's like storing each and every possible chess board on your computer. If decrypting was so easy, it would mean that traveling all data on your computer and decrypting with it would break the scheme. In real life though, 128 bit AES keys are unbreakable (if used correctly of course).
I already have that magic number stuffed into dozens of DNS caches now.

Also what if we register a TLD? does the registrar get a nasty letter?

Information wants to be free. It's impossible to delete information from the internet. I find that to be the most heartening benefit of the internet to mankind - that information, once discovered, can never truly be censored and taken away again. Attempts at censorship will only accelerate the spread, as is evident in this story.
Would everyone be this supportive of a website posting a different list of numbers? I'm sure someone out there could post credit card or social security numbers. I mean, these are just numbers, and names are just strings of characters. Surely no one could object to them being published. That would be censorship!
How many millions does the entertainment industry have to lose before it learns that these incredibly lame attempts at security through obscurity are destined to fail, especially when the technology is in the hands of hundreds of people technically capable of defeating it independently with no other motivation than to say they did it?

There isn't a single copyrighted line there. In fact, I don't believe there is as copyright line in any direction. Furthermore, each line is a minimum of 1/16th different from the actual copyrighted "text", which is more than the 5% rule that general applies to fair use.
This is my art. It's a drawing using glyphs. It's fair use, and the MPAA can shove it.
I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to work on real ASCII art using similar sorts of stupidity; nevertheless, copyright does not apply (not to mention the absurdity of copyrighting a number to begin with).

Does the DMCA make provisions for a takedown notice to be given for a circumvention tool? My memory of it is that it is just for copyrighted works. Not other things, like a circumvention tool. Or, say, a patent violation.
I'd be more than happy to be wrong, but I just don't remember that being one of the legitimate uses of a DMCA takedown notice.
yeah, let's mod up internet profiteering on a lame-ass design sweatshop item where the profits apparently don't even go to an anti-DRM cause.
I'm generally "Interesting," "Insightful," and even "Funny" here. What the hell happens to me at parties?
Every single article on the front page of Digg relates to the key at the current time:

A Colorful Take on the HD-DVD Code - stegonagraphic version of the key
IP Version 6, with 128bit IPs - the key as an IPv6 IP
Digg, this number is ALSO MAGIC! 594852031564777664 is the second half! - the key in two parts and in decimal
Digg, this number is MAGIC! 11497989095545517501 (NOT KIDDING. READ DESC.) - another magic number
Favorite new numbers - the key again.
...if the sequence "4 8 15 16 23 42" is copyrighted as well...

For extra fun, you can put the number in your user agent string. Since plenty of server logs are public, the number will be in lots of log files all over the place.
In Firefox, you can append a comment to the default existing user-agent string, by visiting about:config and adding a string property with the key general.useragent.extra.firefoxComment
Whatever you put in there is added to the end of the user agent string that is sent with every request your browser makes. Mine is now:

Can anyone recommend a book to start with?

Copyright is applicable only to copyrightable works, which are quite universally defined as original works of authorship. But therein lies the problem.
A key is, by design, a random number picked out of a very large keyspace. Its randomness is its guarantee of immunity against cryptoanalysis, and if that keyspace were not uniformly dense (and hence the number not random) then the security provided by the key would be poor. So keys are very random.
But this randomness ensures that the key can never be a work of authorship, since random generation is virtually the opposite of authorship. After all, authorship is quite precisely described as the defining of distinct shape or form, ie. the opposite of creating randomness.
This places keys very much outside the domain of copyright. They're simply not copyrightable works.
It should be noted though that the MPAA is not claiming copyright on the keys (which would be really dumb), but only claiming that their publication constitutes circumvention of a copyright protection device. The copyright in question is that on the protected media item, and not on the key.
After giving up on Slashdot a little less than a year ago, I am back now to truly appreciating what I had! I look forward to the years to come...

By Memorial Day everyone will be talking about my movie, titled "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0". Brilliant!
I scream. You scream. I assume that means we're both acquainted with the problem. We proceed.
Wikipedia is discussing the speedy-delete done to the article about the number. Looks like Wikipedia may end up censoring the article because of fears about future censorship due to the DMCA.
You're just confusing the issue by talking about the Java program.
Much clearer would be to note that the key itself is not a copyright circumvention device, otherwise valid possession of the key and its use to provide access to the media content would constitute circumvention. Well it doesn't, because there is no such thing as permitted circumvention in the DMCA. (A tool that extracted keys would be a circumvention device --- that's quite different.)
So since the key isn't a circumvention device, and since it does not itself carry copyright since a key is not a copyrightable work, and since the copyrighted item is not itself on the sites in question, the MPAA is on very shakey ground with its takedown notices. In fact, it's not even shakey, logically it's entirely non-existent.
But of course, this being the real world, and judges being corrupt pillars of the establishment, I have no doubt that the takedown notices would have the backing of many a wholly-owned judge if it came to the crunch. They'd have to invent some sort of contributory infringement to justify it though.

The trouble there is that it's the same number, so if they have any case at all, different basings aren't going to help.
But what if it were not a number at all? In fact something completely different? Something like:
O9 F9 ll OZ 9D 74 E3 SB D8 4l S6 CS 63 S6 88 CO
where more than a quarter of the digits aren't even valid hex codes and which would not work as an copyright circumvention device?
In fact, I've used such a key to protect some of my work, copyrighted under the Berne Convention provisos. The Base-64 encoded blowfish version of it looks like:

There are many bytes on your computer, but the chances of one being this number is astronomically low.
I would normally agree, however, anyone visiting slashdot today likely has it sitting in their browser's cache, multiple times.
If it were, then you'd be circumventing the copyright protection each time that you played the DVD on a legal player, and that would be illegal, since there is no such thing as permitted circumvention.
A circumvention device as defined by the DMCA would be a tool that extracts keys, or gains access to the content by other means, but it's not the key itself.
They could however claim quite validly that the key is a trade secret. Events have made that rather moot now though, seeing as Google currently has 281,000 links to pages detailing the "secret".

As far as I can tell, anyone can post the key as much as they want. I know what the key is, but I don't have a clue how to circumvent the copy protection, and I don't want to know. Therefore, the DMCA should only be taking down websites that explain HOW to use the key to circumvent the copy protection, not just websites that contain the key.
Is it confirmed that takedown notices were even issued? Or is that just speculation?
For all we know, the MPAA just made a few phone calls threatening lawsuits.
"Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them." -- David Brent
Besides, it isn't illegal by any measure to post a number on the internet.
You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
It not only provides takedown-notice-go-ahead for circumvention tools, it proides takedown-notive-go-ahead for *linking* to circumvention tools.

-juste type "BackupHDDVD f: e:\movies\mymovie"
Where "f:" is the source drive and "e:\movies\mymovie" is the destination directory.
Enjoy!
You only need a machine's key to play back hd material, a huge lapse in judgment by the company who made the protection. Posting the code is practically the same thing as posting the key for a copyrighted dvd. The original cracker of the dvd's protection got in trouble for something similar.

The founder of digg himself decided to fly in the face of law, I'd like to see more "Digg this serial" posts for people's favorite applications or dvds, and continue this thread of fun. Happy Posting!
I started a page for this, here. It includes a link to a page with graphics that use the hex values of the "secret code." While I'm pretty sure my 5-color ribbons are using the hex values correctly, I am not certain that I wrote up my summary of the five colors campaign correctly. Can anyone double-check that I have correctly summed up the issues? I will correct the text if it is inaccurate.

They couldn't fault you for having two 16 character hex numbers could they? It's not like they are the same as the other. The other is one value, these are two completely diffent values.

Except it's not a CIRCUMVENTION tool, it's an ACCESS tool. For your house door, a lockpick is a circumvention tool, a key is an access tool.
It's the same code that a player uses. If you bought a HD-DVD player, you own exactly the same key. Location (inside the player or on your T-shirt) is completely irrelevant. And no provision disallows you from spreading it.
Sure there are circumvention tools which are useless without it. But if the key is illegal, all HD-DVD players containing it are illegal too. There are no "legal inside, illegal outside" provisions.

Exactly how long did they expect it to take before their takedowns were rumoured on the net, for instance here on /. ?
Exactly how long after that did they expect it to take before a gazillion nerds made sure that 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 were everywhere on the net - and then some?
Exactly how stupid are the MPAA?
Let me quote the old cyberpunk mantra: "INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREE". What part of that don't they understand?
"For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong." -- H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) --
Now it's time to start a religion, since we all know by heart and by revelation, the entire universe was created by holy hex numbers, with 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 being the loving mother of all holy numbers. 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 loves you, open your heart for 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0, or be damned forever.
Trust me, I work for the government.

It's protected by a basic encryption and nobody else has my permission to break it.

Can anyone own a number, the answer is no.

Numbers are not owned by anyone.
Can anyone tell someone else a number, Yes three is no patent on numbers.
But even a program can be written out as a large number.
So what does this say for software patents.
I remember a book in which there where monkey's typing random numbers.
The idea was that there was a change that these monkeys could generate a formula that could describe our world, givin time and change.
Actualy giving them milions of milions of years they will type that forumula.
Besides that some physican believe that the world is not random at all, believing that in theory the world could as wel be calculated (we might be in the middle of a simulation), if so then for all you folks posting here, it's just something you did based on this miracle calculation of our "Matrix", so your free will is not to blame here (if it would exist at all) it's just the numbers themself to blame.

"You're arguing for a universe with fewer waffles in it," I said. "I'm prepared to call that cowardice."
"More disturbingly, my story got Dugg twice, with the second wave hitting 15,500 votes, and today I found out it had simply disappeared from Digg. How long until the long arm of the MPAA gets to my own site (run in Ecuador) and the rest of them holding the processing key? How long will we let rampant censorship go on, in the name of economic interest?"
The MPAA only has power because they are given power by so many people, including those who claim to be opposed to them. The more you want corporate-provided entertainment, the more power you give the MPAA - supply and demand. Why is the crack so important? The crack is only as important as the product, and how important are these products? In the big picture of your life and all the things you can or cannot do, all the things you may or may not accomplish before you are dead, how important is Spiderman 2 or A Weekend at Bernie's or a Family Ties box set? Is a puppet show the most important thing in your life? Why?
How long will the pointless rebellion go on, in the name of trivial entertainment for the masses? Pick a fight that matters and apply your talents effectively.
RTFM; please, I beg you.
We all believe in freedom of expression, but we also believe that people are allowed to have secrets.
There is nothing special about your social security number, but the fact that it is associated with you is very important.
In that context, it is quite reasonable for the industry to be upset about their encryption keys being leaked, although I do not agree with the takedown notices. The reason the take down notices are wrong is that they are pointless, and I believe it is wrong to engage in pointless legal threats. You cannot make a secret key secret again once it has been published.
There is an underlying problem that is more critical. Many technically savvy people believe entertainment industry to have adopted business models which are bad for the public interest. To make matters worse, there is also a wide consensus among these people that government is unresponsive to the public good and beholden to commercial interests who donate money. As Lord Macaulay noted in his speech on copyright extension, government for the benefit of narrow interests is an invitation to lawlessness:
There is a sickness in our political system which is encouraging normally reasonable people to applaud the publishing of private secrets. It is taken for granted that business and politics are corrupt partners.

...figuring out the algorithm, and scaring the life out of those abusing the DMCA is infinitely more interesting that watching and/or listening to 95% of the crap they are trying to protect. I submit "Date Movie", "The Wicker Man" and the latest Brittany Spears album as examples of the great entertainment treats they are so desperate to protect.
No no, I really was just joking (well, and offering a thin but arguable excuse for people to continue to mention the number).
Contrary to intuition, it is vastly more common than not for large numbers to have relatively few prime factors. This one is not all that atypical compared with what you'd expect to see if it were simply generated randomly. It does have a small surplus of small factors compared with typical, and its second-to-largest and third-to-largest prime factors are mildly unusually close in size (all of which conspires to make the largest prime factor somewhat larger than typical), but those things aren't outright surprising for a random number of this size. It's impossible for every number to be precisely typical.
The fact that the nearest primes are -27 and +31 away also is not even a little bit surprising, compared with what theory predicts for a typical number.
All in all, this actually is a completely unremarkable number -- at least in terms of the qualities I stated thus far. If one looked at it extensively, it might turn out to have more unusual properties (are there related Sophie Germain primes, irregular primes, etc. etc. ad infinitum). More than likely it would take quite a while to find something truly worthy of mention, though, with no guarantee of success to reward the effort.

09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 don't tell the truth about what they think./ / I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls./ for you know who.. he does not have a slashdot :P account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing./
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 say that it is all in the way you use 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 is now about 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow jells from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. http://09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63.com
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with jell bottles in it, there was like 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 full bottles and 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 empty ones, all ordered from http://09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63.com
I just never put 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 and 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 together until he explained it all to me, I did see his package and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 bottles from the website at http://09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63.com
